My MBS Debut!

Yes, it's true! As of this morning, I am the Moda Bake Shop's newest designer! I am just so very excited to be included among so many talented quilters and sewists. This is such a personal accomplishment for me!

My first tutorial (though hopefully not my last) is for a quick & easy table runner that packs a punch through the deliberate placement of color and value. I hope y'all like it.

Head on over to the Moda Bake Shop, check it out, and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your feedback ... but seeing as it is my first time trying to write any type of project instructions, please be gentle! If you make one, I'd love to see it. Also, be sure to add it to the MBS Flickr pool!

I just found your blog via Moda, and sent the post to my mother! I've just started quilting and have been making small projects, but I think I might like to try this next! I love it! I'm now following your blog, so I can see what else you do :)

Thats really cool. Congrats. I'll be making that this weekend. Someone above asked for your autograph.. Ha! Will you adopt me? At least just for the major holidays and my birthday? The holidays being January 1st thru Dec 31st (they're all quilting holidays right?)

Again Congrats on the Bake Shop gig...I'm looking forward to your next tutorial.

Hello, I saw your table runner on Moda Bakeshop and loved it! This is the first time I visit your blog and found it so interesting, now I'm going to have a more detailed look. Your quilts are so bright, beautiful!Georgina in Qatar, Middle East

Wow, that's very exciting. I'm new to all this bloggy reading stuff and I had no idea of this whole world of sewing and sharing out there....way to go!:) Looking forward the the wonky next week, have my stack of fabric on my dresser getting me excited!:)

wow, saw your quilt on Moda Bake Shop and I have to say I'm soooo impressed. Love the quilt and amazed that a guy made it!! Now that I've seen your profile photo having a hard time picturing you hunched over a sewing machine!!!

I have just come from the bake shop & I have to tell you that I simply LOVE your tablerunner. You have used my favourite fabric and technique. I WILL be making me a tablerunner as soon as I get me a honeybun.

Thanks so much for the tutorial for this wonderful runner. I have some honey buns just waiting to be used. Can't wait til they post the pdf so I can print it out. Very easy to understand instructions...great job.

Congratulations John!!! I love your tablerunner. I too like a long tablerunner. Your choice of honeybuns is awesome. I really like the bold colors in Fresh. Your tutorial was great. You did an amazing job. Love & blessings from NC!

trying to learn how to find all you great quilters and discovered you by chance and had to tell you that I have just finished a quilt in that same Fresh Material that you did your table runner in, lovely and bright but mine is definitely not as exciting as yours, only just learning this fascinating craft, love it and will be back to visit your news as often as I can, cheers from sunny South Africa, Karen
